This is what I don''t get. Obama is the post racial candidate, has not brought race into the campaign (The Clintons did that) and then so many in these forurms say that people are voting for Obama only because he is black. What a slap in the face to all people who are voting for Obama because he''s made good decisions in his life - like over the Iraq War, nuclear weapons non proliferation, etc.

If I were to say that people are only voting for Hillary because she was a woman that would be disparaging to you. But I know many Clinton supports must have a better reason then that - although some, only some, are very vocal about the fact that she is a woman and that is why they are voting for her.

I think Hillary has opened this door and we will soon see another viable woman for this position. I would just like to see a woman who did it on her own volition rather then her husbands. I would also like to see a more likeable person then Hillary who can embrace all sides. Don''t shoot the messenger here folks, we all know that Hillary even calls herself a fighter because of the way she bring alientates people.

WHY DOESN''T RON KIRK JUST TELL THE TRUTH. HE, LIKE ALL THE OTHER BLACK POLITICIANS, ARE BACKING OBAMA BECAUSE OBAMA IS A BLACK MAN. TRUTH! THE CLINTONS WORKED FOR YEARS IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS BRINGING ABOUT LIFE CHANGING REFORMS FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND THIS IS HOW THEIR LOYALTY IS RE-PAID. I FOR ONE WON''T FORGET.

You Republicans are taking the advice of Rush Limbaugh? -very bright idea. If that is so, your intelligence ranks right up there with Hillary''s campaign staff.

Hillary''s stance and plans have changed so many times within the last few months -because of Obama. This all started at the beginning of her camapaign when she took ''planted'' questions from the audience in Iowa. She''s deceitful even with her own supporters.

AND WHERE WAS THIS ALLEGIANCE OF ARMY GENERALS & CHRONIES WHO NOW SUPPOSEDLY ARE ENDORSING CLINTON DURING THE LAST CLINTON ERA. Obviously such brilliant powers couldnt counsel Bill into keeping his pants on or Hillary from being a 20yr doormat & co-conspirator of his infidelities! All the strategist and endorsements in the world obviously can''t help or advise power-mongering idiots with GOOD JUDGEMENT! Clinton begs us to ask "what if" when we Americans have a vivid memory of "what did" and would prefer not to have to regurgitate it!

In other words, this man is throwing Bill and Hillary''s support of him down the toilet because he got the call from Mr. Al and Mr. Jessie that he better support the first man who has a chance to live in the ''White'' House!

Give me a break!
